OVT AND ECL FAMILY RENEGOTIATING FUNERAL AND BURIAL OF THE LATE FORMER PRESIDENT OUTSIDE COURT
By: Sun FM TV Reporter
The Government and the Family of Late Former President Edgar Lungu have agreed to put court proceedings on hold until Monday, 18th August 2025, as negotiations continue over his funeral and burial arrangements.
The development was communicated to the south Africa Pretoria High court, prompting judges to stand down the hearing of the appeal in the matter.
Judges have expressed optimism that the ongoing discussions will lead to a lasting resolution between the two parties.

As Zambians, despite the unfortunate circumstances surrounding the delayed burial of our late former Sixth President Edgar Chagwa Lungu and the confusion that ensued, we believe that a peaceful resolution will be found. All will be well, and the events of the past will soon fade from memory, allowing the Lungu family to heal.
We have learned valuable lessons through difficult experiences, and we hope that the passing of our leaders will serve to unite rather than divide our nation. It is crucial that politicians refrain from exploiting death to incite hatred; instead, they should promote peace and unity. Those who provoke the Lungu family by reminding them of the government’s past mistreatment of ECL and suggesting they should stay away from his burial are only adding to the suffering the family is enduring.
Silence can often be more powerful than loud expressions. Some matters are best left in the hands of God Almighty rather than engaging in human conflicts, as we are all accountable to Him. God Almighty is the ultimate judge of humanity, and nothing, whether good or bad, can remain concealed from His sight.
After family lost the case they have now come to the negotiating table.
@Lazor…. ECL family know that they can’t win the case. THE REASON THE NEW LAWYER advocated for negotiation outside the court. The LAWYER IS TOO INTELLIGENT and he HAS SEEN THAT HE WIN THE CASE….!!
